[Spears] “I don’t really have anything to say,” Fox said about the Kings. “It is what it is. I wish [Keegan Murray] the best. Whether that is rebuilding, I want him to be in the best situation for him. “The grass is greener on this side.”

Fox says he doesn’t watch Kings games now, and there isn’t much of a connection because of all the changes made since he left. He still talks regularly with Kings forward Keegan Murray, but only six of Fox’s former teammates are still on the Kings’ roster. There is also a new general manager in Scott Perry and a new full-time head coach in Doug Christie.
The Kings are struggling with the likes of Murray and veterans Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook on their roster. Sources told Andscape that there is a disconnect between some veteran Kings players and Christie and his coaching staff.
Sacramento is expected to explore making trades of its veteran players, a source told Andscape. At home games, Kings fans have recently booed their team’s poor performances and chanted for owner Vivek Ranadive to sell the team. One fan was recently ejected from a game for heckling LaVine, a player the Kings acquired in the Fox deal.
“We still talk. I still talk to [former Kings player development coach] Elijah [Brown], his son,” Fox said. “Mike is family. It’s dope to see him in New York. For one, the Knicks are already a good team. He just elevates them. Their aspirations are to win a championship. And I feel like that is what they brought him in there to do.
“They have the talent. They didn’t change the talent. You see that early on in their season [with their success]. He’s a championship coach.”
